Revelation 10:1-4
Revelation 10:1: “And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:”
This angel “came down” from Heaven. Since he did not fall from heaven, I suspect this is an angel and not a demon. It’s important to notice that this is not the 7th trumpet judgment, as that does not begin until Revelation 11:14-19. This is an interlude – something that happens between trumpets 6 and 7.
Revelation 10:2: “And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
One of the great mysteries of Revelation is what these seven thunders had to say. Scholars would very much like to know the answer to this riddle, but it is impossible to find out. God simply does not tell us, and so we must wait. There are some mysteries that cannot be solved, and this is one of them. We will just have to wait until this event happens.
Why did the Lord hide this information from us? I really don’t know. Perhaps one day God will tell us the answer.
